I just called and left messages for Arizona Senators Kelly (D) and Gallego (D) telling them that if they cave without a guarantee of ACA subsidies they are going to lose their entire base in one fell swoop.

While we're waiting to hear the terms of a shitty deal, this needs to be said. Whatever reason Trump is claiming there'll be a $2K tariff dividend (remember the $5K DOGE dividend), there'll be no such thing.

Right now Trump is staring at a $200B tariff payback hole.

Actually, outside of the corporate Dems, many are stepping up to counter the hard right Fascists. Don't give up on them because they are the ONLY ones who can take over and save us. Join them & change them, but don't diss them. They are finally 'getting it.'

Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government.

We will follow every thread until there is justice.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
